Legal & Privacy

Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026. This policy applies to the MyAstroBoard marketing website (this website). It does not apply to the MyAstroBoard self-hosted application when you deploy the app yourself, you are the data controller for your own instance.

Summary: This website does not install tracking cookies. No analytics scripts are loaded. No personal data is collected or sold. The only browser storage used is localStorage to remember your cookie consent preference on your device.

1. Who is responsible for this website?

This website is maintained by Gloup (WorldOfGZ), the author of the MyAstroBoard open-source project.

This website is hosted on OVH shared hosting (OVHcloud SAS, 2 rue Kellermann, 59100 Roubaix, France). Hosting infrastructure is managed by OVHcloud. Their privacy policy applies to server-level data processing: OVHcloud Privacy Policy .

2. What data does this website collect?

This website is a static site. We do not collect, store, or process any personal data directly.

The following may be processed at the infrastructure level by OVHcloud (outside our control):

  • Server access logs: IP address, user agent, referrer URL, page requested, timestamp. These are standard HTTP server logs retained and processed by OVHcloud according to their privacy policy. We do not access or analyze these logs.

On your device only (not transmitted anywhere):

  • Cookie consent preference: A single key (mab_cookie_consent) stored in your browser's localStorage with the value accepted or declined. This is not a cookie. It is never transmitted to any server. You can delete it at any time by clearing your browser's site data for this domain.

3. Cookies and tracking technologies

This website does not install any cookies on your browser. We do not use:

  • Analytics cookies (Google Analytics, Matomo, Plausible, or equivalent)
  • Advertising or remarketing cookies
  • Social media tracking pixels
  • Fingerprinting scripts
  • Third-party CDN scripts (no external JavaScript loaded)

All CSS, JavaScript, and assets are served from the same origin as this website.

4. Third-party content

The home page may load a demonstration GIF image from raw.githubusercontent.com (GitHub's raw content CDN). If this image loads, GitHub's servers will receive a standard HTTP request including your IP address and user agent, as per their privacy policy. This image is for illustrative purposes only and carries no tracking parameters.

5. Legal basis for processing (GDPR / RGPD)

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and the French "Loi Informatique et Libertés", the following legal bases apply:

  • Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR): Server-level access logs processed by OVHcloud for security and operational purposes.
  • No processing by this website: This website itself processes no personal data. The localStorage value is stored exclusively on your device and never transmitted.

Because no cookies are set and no personal data is processed by this website, no consent is required under ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC (Cookie Law) for this website's own operations. The cookie banner is provided for transparency and to comply with best practices.

6. Data retention

This website does not retain any personal data. The localStorage entry persists in your browser until you clear it manually or it is cleared by your browser's storage management.

OVHcloud server logs are retained according to OVHcloud's own data retention policy.

7. Your rights under GDPR / RGPD

As a resident of the European Union or European Economic Area, you have the following rights under GDPR:

  • Right of access (Art. 15): Request a copy of any personal data held about you.
  • Right to rectification (Art. 16): Request correction of inaccurate data.
  • Right to erasure (Art. 17): Request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten").
  • Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18): Request that processing is restricted.
  • Right to data portability (Art. 20): Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
  • Right to object (Art. 21): Object to processing based on legitimate interests.

Since this website does not collect personal data directly, most of these rights apply to OVHcloud's processing of server logs. You can exercise those rights by contacting OVHcloud at ovhcloud.com/en/personal-data-protection .

For any privacy questions related to this project, you may open a GitHub Issue at https://github.com/myastroboard/myastroboard/issues .

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority. In France: CNIL (cnil.fr) . In the EU, find your authority at edpb.europa.eu .

8. Privacy of the MyAstroBoard application (self-hosted)

The MyAstroBoard application is self-hosted software. When you deploy it on your own server:

  • You are the data controller for all data processed by your instance.
  • User accounts, observation data, plans, and configuration are stored exclusively in your Docker volume and never sent to the project maintainer.
  • Weather data is fetched from Open-Meteo (open-source weather API, no API key required). Your location coordinates are sent to Open-Meteo to retrieve forecasts. See Open-Meteo terms .
  • Spaceflight data is fetched from Launch Library 2 (The Space Devs). No personal data is sent.
  • By default, no telemetry is sent from the application to the project maintainer.

As the deploying party, you are responsible for complying with applicable data protection laws (GDPR, etc.) for any personal data processed by your instance, in particular if your instance is accessible to multiple users or exposed on the internet.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in practices or legal requirements. The date at the top of this page will be updated accordingly. For significant changes, we will note them in the GitHub repository commit history.
